Still worth getting a PS2?

- Like?

I am deeply, deeply in love with Persona 3 FES and Persona 4, as well as both Kingdom Hearts titles. So much that emulation doesn't cut it.

I know that the PS3 supports PS2 games, but it's loving expensive - so I ask, is it still worthwhile to get a PS2? Amazon.co.uk has people selling a good as new PS2 slim for, like, 50 pounds. PS2 games are also still being sold far and wide, so I think it'll stay alive for some ore time. Besides, with such a huge library (10+ years of games) there'll be loads of now-cheap but awesome games I can buy.

 

So, is it still worth it to get a PS2?

I do believe that it is worth it to "pillage" a PS2
The PS3 is a worthy investment; as it is $299 (Can't speak for European prices, of course), it really isn't any more expensive than your average video game console. And that's without mentioning that the PS3 has some of the best exclusives this generation (Demon's Souls, Flower, the Uncharted Series, etc.)

just be sure to remember your PSN password or else you won't be able to play any of your PS3 games because sony's stupid

This guy is asking about PS2 games. As far as I know, only one PS3 model supports PS2 games.
The PS2 is pretty cheap, I'd say its worth it. Make sure you pick up the Metal Gear Solid games while you're at it

@Vid Inferno >Implying my predicted disposable income is over 50 pounds/month

@ Mundo - Good idea. I also always wanted to check out Kingdom Hearts I and II

 

But, seeing as my Excel table in which I log my income and expenses says that I may lack ROMANCE, THRILLS and EMOTIONS, but most of all lack MONEY
...

 

I think I'll just get a better graphics card and then I might just emulate them. Depends on whether I can get that thing over here.
